The Ione School District is located in Morrow County, Oregon in the town of Ione. We serve a small farming community with 165 students grades K-12. In the past few years, the Ione School District has undergone several changes. One of the biggest changes has been the creation of the Ione School District. Previously we had been a part of the Morrow County School District. Another large change was the construction of a new elementary school in 2003. Our new school is located next to the high school, which was constructed in 1961. The old library and administration office in the high school were renovated and are now two useable new rooms.
Morrow County School District is located in rural north central Oregon. Morrow County is bordered on the north by the beautiful Columbia River and by the Umatilla National Forest on the southern border. The county encompasses more than 2,000 square miles with a growing population of over 11,000 in the four main communities of Boardman and Irrigon, along the Columbia River, and Heppner and Lexington, in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. The people of Morrow County School District have a passion for the education of all children. Our communities care about and support their schools. Morrow County Schools serve almost 2,200 K-12 students with three elementary schools, two intermediate schools, three high schools, and one alternative school. The student population in Boardman and Irrigon is diverse and growing. The largest minority group is Hispanic. Schools in Heppner are smaller and have more stable student populations. Mission Statement: Morrow County Schools, in partnership with families and communities, provide each student the opportunity to develop values, knowledge, skills and self-confidence to become life-long learners and responsible citizens.
